Cleaning a Gravity-Feed Airbrush (Deep Clean) - Video

Sometimes airbrushes have problems. You might see bubbles in the colour cup, a diminished spray pattern or maybe your airbrush won’t spray at all. Luckily most airbrush problems can be resolved with a thorough cleaning session. In this video you'll learn how to deep clean an airbrush so you can get back to spraying again.

You’ll see in the video that we soak the nozzle, nozzle cap, air cap and needle cap in Medea Airbrush Cleaner. This helps break up dried paint and makes it easier to scrub off. But please do not soak, immerse or “wet dock” your entire airbrush in any liquid. Ever. This can cause more problems than it solves.

Use caution when removing and reinserting your airbrush nozzle. We recommend using the Iwata Nozzle Wrench (also available as part of the Iwata Airbrush Cleaning Kit and the Iwata Professional Maintenance Tool Kit. If you are using the small spanner that was included with your airbrush or another tool, take extra care not to over-tighten as this can cause this delicate part to break.

Do you have an Eclipse CS? Iwata made a video just for this airbrush since it has an unique compression fit nozzle. Check it out in our Cleaning & Maintenance Tutorials.
